The ASG launched the Brent Scowcroft Award Fellowship (BSAF), a paid, temporary, and full-time internship program, in recognition of ASG Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus General Brent Scowcroft’s long-time dedication to the group, as well as his legacy of distinguished public service. Now in its 18th year, the six-month fellowship is designed to provide the first steppingstone for recent graduates with a keen interest in foreign policy by way of direct exposure to the types of critical, thoughtful, and bipartisan discussions that characterize the ASG’s dialogues.
This fellowship is set in a collaborative, small-team, and fast-paced environment. As the ASG Policy Initiatives team prepares for each meeting and program, we entrust our BSAF fellows with a high level of responsibility. Therefore, we seek candidates with the ability to work both efficiently as part of a team and independently to ensure the success of the ASG’s various activities.
Please note that while the fellowship is temporary in nature, fellows are required to work full time for the duration of the fellowship.
